Grasshoppers of Kansas. 125 



broad; external margin undulated, lobed; radiate veins swollen in the 

 middle. Hind femora of medium size; not large in comparison to the 

 size of the insect. 



The general color varies from a dirty gray through yellowish gray, 

 reddish brown to dull brown. Head often almost white. Pronotum 

 usually grayish brown. Tegmina plain gray, gray with brownish fascia, 

 or reddish brown with darker brown fascia; the fascia are made up of 

 small spots, the basal band the heavier. Wings with the disk sulphur 

 yellow, bordered by a solid black, slightly arcuate band; spur well 

 marked, reaching at least half way to the base; apical portion hyaline. 

 Outside of hind femora grayish white to brownish; inside the same 

 marked with two black spots, the basal one the larger. 



This species is very closely related to C. undulatus Th. and C. lobatus 

 Sauss., from which it may be easily separated by its much larger size 

 and the solid black band of the wing. It is far more distinct from the 

 above-mentioned species than they are from each other.
